Craving something hoppy? How about a nice stout? This brew haven aims to please, with 12 offerings on tap and more than 85 beers in all. Framboise, Delirium Tremens and a hearty selection of Belgian ales are a few highlights, but you?ll also be able to find American microbrews among domestic standbys. Enjoy the outdoor patio while you can and come by for happy hour and a scrumptious dinner! Also, we have a free shuttle to the United Center so don?t be shy before or after your next concert or game. Don?t forget to inquire about our private party packages, beer dinners, and brew school…

In Short – A gorgeous vintage mahogany Brunswick bar enhances the old-fashioned feel of this spacious high ceiling'd tavern. Beer is the main course here, with 75 choices in bottles and an eclectic mix of drafts that includes little-known European brews like Lindeman's Framboise, Maredsous Dubbel and Paulaner Hefeweizen, all served in the appropriate glassware. Even the food menu suggests beer pairings for every dish, e.g. nachos washed down with Pacifico beer from, of course, Mexico.

Great selection of beers, personable bartenders and sufficient food
by jumboiowan at Citysearch
I went to Beer Bistro for happy hour after work and was very happy with the choice. There is a great selection of beers and the bartenders were more than willing to talk knowledgeably to you about the choices. The food was pretty good for a bar. The grilled chicken tenders were quite good. After work the ambiance in this place was unbeatable. It was not too loud but still held a lot of people so there was no wait to sit down.
- Pros: Great beer selection, great ambience, decent food
- Cons: Getting a table was not as easy, but plenty of room at the bar.

Great place to have a private party!
by BAngieB at Citysearch
I needed a place to throw my 40th birthday party at and found The Beer Bistro! All I can say is that it was the perfect spot. The wait staff was right on time. The food we ordered from the menu was great and the bartender hustled for my party of 60 all night. I couldn't bring in my own DJ, but I was still able to load MY music onto my ipod and it was pumped down into the room. I have absolutely no complaints about The Beer Bistro and hope to use this establishment in the future.
- Pros: Great place if you're looking for a place to have a private party.
- Cons: Parking got a bit tricky, but what can you do about parking in the west loop?
